Chapter 772： Unexpected two (1/2)
”Let the merchant ship stay in place!” The British captain ordered again. At this time, because of the Comet's obstruction, the British on the armored cruiser did not know the nature of the attack, nor whether it was launched by the merchant ship. So the British asked the other party to stop.
However, at this time, Berger commanded the Sea Wolf to swiftly drive to the ambush area of the U19 submarine, and he circled an arc. If the British want to catch up with their opponents as soon as possible, obviously they should go straight.
”There is a submarine nearby, we must leave!” In order to prevent the opponent from firing, Berger sent a clear telegram.
”When sailing straight to 10 kilometers away, you must be within our line of sight, otherwise we will open fire!” The British on the Breslau are not stupid. The twin 9.2-inch main guns on the ship have a range of 10 kilometers. Above, after walking 10 kilometers, the submarine is almost out of the range of underwater ambush. But it is still within the range of his main gun, and as long as he can stare at the opponent, he can guarantee that the opponent cannot escape his palm!
The Seawolf walked in a curve, the British walked in a straight line, taking short cuts, and the fast-moving party would naturally catch up with the opponent easily, but invisibly, the distance between the Breslau and the two ambushing U-boats Was quickly pulled closer!
”Slow down, little guy, slow down!” The U19 submarine rushed towards its prey like a dormant cheetah. The output power of the battery pack reached its maximum, and the two propellers began to rotate rapidly. The speed was immediately from the normal 4 knots. Increased to 7 knots, but still slower for armored cruisers sailing at a speed of more than a dozen knots.
”Let the opponent face, let's play the side!” Major Otto commanded, holding his nervous mood.
Just when U19 was preparing to seize the position, U32 had launched an attack. The three torpedoes were ejected from the torpedo tube by compressed air. After the engine was started, exhaust gas was dispatched from the mine body, forming three tail lines with obvious tracks. In fact, the U32's attack state is not good. The distance is 1500 meters, which is a little far away, and the location is very bad. The Breslau has only a very small side projection.
Although the Brest was a little caught off guard this time, she still managed to avoid this round of lightning strikes. The two steering gears at the stern were hit to the maximum. Because of the huge inertia when turning, the entire warship tilted to a certain extent. Two torpedoes passed through the bow and stern respectively, while the third torpedo leaked from the bottom of the hull. It seems that the depth of this torpedo is somewhat problematic.
”Our plan seems to have failed...” Major Berger looked at the armored cruiser Brest, which was moving at high speed in the distance, with a gloomy expression. In theory, there are two submarines that can ambush this armored cruiser, but in fact, because of the position problem, only one can launch an attack, and when the opponent's vigilance is greatly increased, the other submarine wants to get closer to 1. Within a kilometer, there is little chance of another lightning strike.
”Leave this sea area and accept inspection!” The British signaled again. Obviously, there was a German submarine in this sea area, but the British still did not intend to give up this goal. The British captain's instinct told him that this ship There seems to be a problem!
